Battrick v. State

In Battrick v. State, 267 Kan. 389, 985 P.2d 707 (1999), three consolidated K.S.A. 1998 Supp. 60-1501 habeas corpus cases challenged the constitutionality of the 30-day rule in K.S.A. 1998 Supp. 60-1501(b). The Kansas Supreme Court held K.S.A. 1998 Supp. 60-1501(b) to be constitutional on its face and that it was not a bill of attainder, an unconstitutional limit on petitioners' access to the courts, or a suspension of petitioners' rights to the writ of habeas corpus in violation of the Kansas Constitution Bill of Rights, 8. 267 Kan. at 389.
